Michael Prinzing

I study the good life, encompassing things like happiness and well-being, morality and virtue, meaning in life, and the relationships among these. I am Research and Assessment Scholar at the Educating Character Initiative (housed within the Program for Leadership and Character) at Wake Forest University. I previously held positions in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Baylor Univeristy and Department of Philosophy at Yale Univeristy. I received my PhD in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
